Amazon also sells it pre-popped if you're an Amazon Prime member the shipping
would be free. But it's sort of 'spensive just for a "try it out".

Maybe check with Nature Nate's to see if they offer small quantities.

Or, Whole Foods if you have one nearby. From the preramble or their
recipe: "Tiny sorghum grains, naturally gluten-free and densely
nutritious, puff up beautifully when popped over high heat. You can
snack on popped sorghum as you would on popcorn, either plain or
sprinkled with chili powder or finely grated Parmesan cheese. It also
makes a nutty, crunchy garnish for salads, soups and more. You can
even add it to cookie dough in place of tree nuts."

     Title: Popped Sorghum
Categories: Five, Grains, Snacs
     Yield: 1 1/2 cups

     1 tb Canola or extra-virgin olive
          - oil
   1/2 c  Sorghum grains
   1/4 ts Fine sea salt


 Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat
 until hot.

 Add sorghum.

 Wearing oven mitts to protect your hands, swirl the pan
 to coat grains with oil. Cover the pan and cook, shaking
 it every minute or so.

 Every now and then, carefully lift the lid and peer in
 to see if grains are still popping; not all grains will
 pop (up to half may not), so wait until you see less
 than 1 or 2 pops every 5 seconds. Sprinkle with salt and
 serve.

 Popped sorghum will keep in an airtight container at
 room temperature for up to 1 day.
